Papermate's latest pen model is aptly named ink joy because it is a joy to write with. The ink flows smoothly and smears less than any pen I have used. When I pass it to a visitor to sign a contract, the person usually says, "Wow! What kind of pen is this? This is really nice!"

This pen is the smoothest ballpoint pen I have ever used. Seriously! The writing is so nice. It is comfortable. It looks nice. I was in love and then.....the first pen out of the box broke. The tip totally broke off and inked up my fingers. I thought the tip had just become unscrewed, but no; it broke off. I hope that it was a fluke, because this pen writes beautifully.

I have been looking for a bold, fast-writing ball point pen, and this one is amazing! I really love how smooth it is and the weight of it in my hands. And it doesn't smear like a gel pen. Simply amazing. They better keep making/selling these!
